The Roman occupation of Britain dramatically transformed the
material culture of the province. Imported goods and settlers from
Europe, the Middle East and North Africa created a richer, more
diverse society and a wealth of mosaics, wall paintings, sculpture,
glassware and metalwork was produced.

The laws, administration, currency, architecture, engineering,
religion and art of Rome met Britain’s Iron Age societies to create
a distinctive 'Romano-British' identity, which is illustrated in
Room 49 through a variety of objects and artworks.
